MIA Uses Superbowl To Flip Off The World

Edited by Samantha Lim

I’m sorry, I just find this funny.  Year after year, the NFL and a major tv network have to spend tons of time, energy, and money on finding a family-friendly safe-for-tv Superbowl halftime performance and year after year they fail.  Madonna, the queen of pop herself, worked so hard to put together the greatest possible show, yet she has been a bit outshined by her guest performer M.I.A.’s extended midperformance middle finger (what do you have to say about that Janet Jackson?).

Watch: Madonna, Nicki Minaj & MIA’s New Music Video

Edited by Samantha Lim

Madonna‘s new music video is here!  She looks 23, her clothes are fierce, and it involves a football theme (in honor of the Superbowl), stripper poles and kissing girls. To top all that video awesomeness, Nicki Minaj and MIA are dressed as cheerleaders prior to a go-go dance scene where all three pop divas channel the 1980′s material girl. Other than the weird throwing a baby at the end, we are (as always) in love with Madge. Watch the video here.

I saw the new Sex and the City movie, (not because I thought it would be good but because my XX chromosomes obligated me too), and I couldn’t help but wonder…

COVERGIRL: M.I.A. Covers Nylon Magazine [@NylonMagazine]

Edited by Rachel Khona, Q Model Booker

I’m seriously feeling my fellow dot head MIA on the cover of Nylon this month. How cuteroo is she? But little does anyone know she has a little sis, Kali Arulpragasam, who designs a pretty bad ass line of jewelry called Super Fertile. She makes these foot long plus oversized gold and silver plated necklaces, rings and “ear covers” address social issues such as the caste system in India, as well as environmental issues such as endangered species. My personal fave is a necklace from the CRA$H line with a graph of the U.S. National debt.

I don’t know about you, but I think debating politics, religion, and social ills can be a real pain. Either because no one knows what they’re talking about or people get all emotional and faces turn red. So I figure this is the perfect solution. Why not just multitask and wear your make a political and fashion statement all at once? Check it. www.superfertile.com

MEET W Magazine’s New Editor-at-Large (aka MIA’s Worst Enemy) [@wmag]]

Edited by Saynt

This is Lynn Hirschberg, a Times Magazine writer that just started a war with M.I.A. for writing a story that makes the Sri Lankan songstress look like a total flake. She’s about to take the reigns at W Magazine as Editor-at-Large. You can understand why we’re concerned.

NOIR: MIA Gives Us Hindu Chic for Complex Magazine

Edited by The Fashion Web

MIA is ushering in a new period of Hindu chic with her amazing looking sari for the cover of Complex Magazine. While the female MC hasn’t contributed much to the music scene since “Paper Planes”, her latest song “Born Free” is definitely getting a ton of attention due to the graphic nature of the video. If you haven’t seen it’s after the jump.
